If you couldn't make it to BlackHat, then consider instead the always fabulous SANS Las Vegas for "Advanced Vulnerability Scanning Techniques Using. Nessus" Saturday, September 17 - Sunday, September 18.

Rob is Director of SpiderLabs' Penetration Testing Practice, where he oversees all aspects of network and infrastructure security testing and wireless network testing. Formerly a bourbon-fueled absurdist, raconteur, and man about town, Rob is currently a sardonic workaholic occasionally seeking meaning in the finer things in life — Rob is, and will always be, a career hacker.

Wendel is a consultant for pen testing at Trustwave, where he has discovered vulnerabilities across a diverse set of technologies including webmail systems, wireless access points, remote access systems, web application firewalls, IP cameras, and IP telephony applications.

Presentation is:

The unique opportunity to see real, interesting, uncommon and some non- trivial attacks that can't be found by automated tools.

Culled from the more than 2300 penetration tests delivered last year by SpiderLabs - only the coolest and freakiest were selected to present at DEFCON 19.

By the end of this presentation, they hope to have the you thinking about systems and applications that organizations use every day, and how they may be used against them.

Rob has conceived and led original research for Microsoft Encrypted Filesystem (EFS) cracking and file recovery, producing a whitepaper based on this research that lead to clarification in the PCI DSS. He also conducted original research into Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) wireless networks, publishing a whitepaper to help Trustwave and their clients determine compliance needs for these networks. Havelt has written for the Linux journal and served as a technical editor for Cisco press and other leading scientific publishers. A sought-after speaker on the conference circuit, Havelt has addressed major industry gatherings such as Black Hat, TOORCON and THOTCON.

Wendel Guglielmetti Henrique is a consultant for penetration testing at Trustwave's SpiderLabs, the advanced security team within Trustwave focused on forensics, ethical hacking, and application security testing for premier clients. He has worked with IT since 1997, during the last 8 years he has worked in the computer security field. During his career, he has discovered vulnerabilities across a diverse set of technologies including webmail systems, wireless access points, remote access systems, web application firewalls, IP cameras, and IP telephony applications. Some tools he wrote already were used as examples in national magazines like PCWorld Brazil and international ones like Hakin9 Magazine. Recent presentations include Black Hat Arsenal 2010 (USA), OWASP AppSec Research 2010 (Sweden) and Black Hat Europe 2010 (Spain). Last year, Wendel spoke in Troopers 09 (Germany), OWASP AppSecEU09 (Poland), YSTS 3.0 (Brazil), and has previously spoken in well known security conferences such as Defcon 16 (USA) and H2HC (Brazil). During the past 4 years he has been working as a penetration tester, where he has performed countless network, application and web application penetration tests for various organizations across government, banking, and commercial sectors, as well as the payment card industry.

A number of tools authored by Wendel have been featured in national magazines such as PCWorld Brazil and international publications like Hakin9 Magazine. In particular, Wendel developed the first tool to detect the infamous BugBear virus in 2002, before it was detected by popular anti-virus solutions. He is constantly providing content and development help to famous publications like Hakin9 magazine, tools like N-Stalker - Web Application Security Scanner, Acunetix Web Security Scanner and NetSparker - False Positive Free Web Application Security Scanner.

Speaking with Cryptographic Oracles by Dan Crowley

Speaking with Cryptographic Oracles is a discussion of methods for finding and exploiting encryption, decryption, and padding oracles from a black box perspective.

Dan is an Application Security Consultant for Trustwave's SpiderLabs and is particularly focused on vulnerabilities caused by a failure to account for little known or even undocumented properties of the platforms on which applications run. He especially enjoys playing around with Web based technologies and rock climbing, has been known to be a unicorn Furnace, and makes a mean chili quite worthy of a PaulDotCom post-exploitation towel.
